Sydney Thunder Women too are coming off a win after losing their season opener. In their next fixture, they defeated Hobart Hurricanes Women by 33 runs at North Sydney Oval. Batting first, the Thunder posted 146-5 from 17 overs courtesy of special knocks from Heather Knight (48 off 28 balls) and Chamari Athapaththu (38 off 29 balls).

The pitch at North Sydney Oval is a really good one for batting with assistance to bowlers as well. The team batting first will get the best batting conditions. The pitch does tend to get tougher to bat on as the game progresses. Seamers will get a good bounce and seam movement off the surface.
The weather in Sydney will be pleasant and partly cloudy. The forecast says that there will be some rain in the evening, so the match might be disrupted in the second half.
The average score batting first at North Sydney Oval is 155. In the first match of WBBL 10 played at the venue, Adelaide Strikers Women posted 171 on the board and won the match by 11 runs. The team batting first here will be looking to post a score of around 160-170 runs.
Both matches played at North Sydney Oval in this season of the WBBL have been won by the team batting first. Both captains would have noticed this and are likely to bat first in this game.
Sydney Thunder Women have been unable to beat Adelaide Strikers Women over the last five WBBL encounters. This will be a huge challenge for them, but they will fancy their chances as they would be high on confidence after that win in their previous match. Adelaide Strikers Women too have a win under their belt and will be looking to extend their winning streak against the Thunder. Looking at the composition of both sides, we feel Adelaide Strikers have an advantage.
We are backing Adelaide Strikers Women as the winners of this match.
